You may have not liked at all of any of the classes but the fact that you had access and actually evaluated the classes is because like the rest of the 75,000 subscribers you were allowed to share the know how that the respective authors provided in their classes. Some classes may not provide great know how in your opinion but you got that benefit because you wanted, not because you had no choice.
